Signs with Vikings Westbrook (knee) signed a contract with the Vikings on Sunday, NFL.com reports.

Impact The veteran wideout had a workout in Minnesota this weekend, and it didn't take the two sides long to come to terms on a deal. Westbrook totaled 1,377 yards and eight touchdowns between 2018 and 2019 for Jacksonville, but he appeared in only two games last season before going down with a torn ACL. The Vikings have little to offer in their receiving corps behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, so Westbrook could end up as the No. 3 wide receiver with a strong showing in training camp.

Improving after ACL tear Westbrook (knee) expects to be cleared for football activities soon, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.

Impact The 2017 fourth-round pick suffered an ACL tear in October, wrapping up his fourth pro season with only one reception in two games for Jacksonville. He slid down the depth chart even before he was injured, and Westbrook now finds himself a free agent while rehabbing from major surgery. He's reportedly been in contact with the 49ers, but he'll likely need to compete for a roster spot regardless of where he ends up signing.

Torn ACL confirmed Follow-up tests conducted on Westbrook's knee confirmed that he suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers, ending his season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Jaguars placed Westbrook on injured reserve Monday, leaving the team with five receivers on the active roster. The season-ending setback comes at a tough time for Westbrook, who was bound for free agency this offseason. Given that he may not be back to full health for the start of the 2021 season, he could remain unsigned deep into the summer. Westbrook's stock had already dropped steeply before he suffered the ACL tear, as the 26-year-old had essentially been squeezed out of Jacksonville's rotation at receiver following back-to-back 60-catch campaigns. He was active for just the second time all season Sunday, playing all 11 of his snaps on special teams.

Hits injured reserve The Jaguars placed Westbrook (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Jacksonville reportedly fears that Westbrook tore his ACL during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, so his stint on IR may last the rest of the season. The 2017 fourth-round pick made the most of his contributions in the return game in three 2020 appearances, and he's set to become a free agent in 2021.

Torn ACL feared Westbrook will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the severity of his knee injury, which the Jaguars fear to be a torn ACL, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Westbrook will miss the remainder of the 2020 season if the results of his MRI indeed point to an ACL tear. The 2017 fourth-round pick has been largely relegated to return-man duties this season, so the largest impact of his absence would likely come in the form of Chris Claybrooks taking over on both punts and kickoffs.
